Skyworks exceed Q1 expectations

Skyworks Solutions are an American company that produce semiconductors and other technological products. They then sell these on to clients around the world, as they form part of high-tech communication systems, which seems to be a winning formula for the business, as they have just posted great figures for the fiscal quarter.

The firm, which is based out of Massachusetts, were able to post revenue of $914.3 million for the quarter ending 30 December 2016, which was up 9.4% sequentially, and ahead of analysts’ estimates of $902.7 million. Skyworks were also able to reveal a record cash flow from operations for the quarter, with $495.9 million.

Some operating highlights from the period that were flagged up included: delivering low noise amplifiers to leading networking equipment manufacturers and enabling Wi-Fi mesh solutions at both Linksys and Ubiquiti Networks.
